Immortal Love for ever full
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807-1892 Hymnal: Common Praise #475 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Title: BISHOPTHORPE Scripture: Genesis 6:9 Lyrics: 1 Immortal Love for ever full,
for ever flowing free,
for ever shared, for ever whole,
a never-ebbing sea.
2 Our outward lips confess the name
all other names above;
love only knoweth whence it came
and comprehendeth love.
3 We may not climb the heavenly steeps
to bring the Lord Christ down;
in vain we search the lowest deeps,
for him no depths can drown:
4 But warm, sweet, tender, even yet
a present help is he;
and faith has still its Olivet,
and love its Galilee.
*5 The healing of his seamless dress
is by our beds of pain;
we touch him in life's throng and press,
and we are whole again.
*6 Through him the first fond prayers are said
our lips of childhood frame;
the last low whispers of our dead
are burdened with his name.
7 Alone, O Love ineffable,
thy saving name is given;
to turn aside from thee is hell,
to walk with thee is heaven. Topics: Lent II Year A; Proper 5 Year A; Healing Languages: English

O for a closer walk with God
Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Hymnal: Common Praise #532 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Title: CAITHNESS Scripture: Genesis 6:9 Lyrics: 1 O for a closer walk with God,
a calm and heavenly frame;
a light to shine upon the road
that leads me to the Lamb!
2 What peaceful hours I once enjoyed,
how sweet their memory still!
But they have left an aching void
the world can never fill.
3 Return, O holy Dove, return,
sweet messenger of rest:
I hate the sins that made thee mourn
and drove thee from my breast.
4 The dearest idol I have known,
whate'er that idol be,
help me to tear it from thy throne
and worship only thee.
5 So shall my walk be close with God,
calm and serene my frame;
so purer light shall mark the road
that leads me to the Lamb. Topics: Lent I Year B; Lent Languages: English

What Adam's Disobedience Cost
Author: Fred Pratt Green; Carol Bechtel Hymnal: Lift Up Your Hearts #34 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Title: DETROIT Scripture: Genesis 6:1-8 Lyrics: 1 What Adam’s disobedience cost,
let Holy Scripture say:
ourselves estranged, an Eden lost,
and then a judgment day: each day a judgment day.
2 An ark of mercy rode the flood,
but we, where waters swirled,
rebuilt, impatient of the good,
another fallen world: an unrepentant world.
3 A little child is Adam’s heir,
is Adam’s hope and Lord,
sing joyful carols everywhere,
that Eden is restored: in Jesus is restored.
4 Regained is Adam’s blessedness:
the angels sheathe their swords;
in joyful carols all confess
the kingdom is the Lord’s: the glory is the Lord’s!
5 Renewed, restored we look ahead
to glimpse that glorious day
when in the new Jerusalem
all griefs will pass away. “Amen. Hallelujah!” Topics: Biblical Names and Places Eden; Church Year Christmas; Fall and the Human Condition; God's Judgment; Jesus Christ King Languages: English

Procrastination
Author: Thomas Hastings Hymnal: Laudes Domini #286 (1888) Tune Title: EXPOSTULATION Scripture: Genesis 6:3 First Line: Delay not, delay not; O sinner, draw near Lyrics: 1 Delay not, delay not; O sinner, draw near,
The waters of life are now flowing for thee;
No price is demanded; the Saviour is here;
Redemption is purchased, salvation is free.
2 Delay not, delay not, the Spirit of grace,
Long grieved and resisted, may take his sad flight,
And leave thee in darkness to finish thy race,
To sin in the gloom of eternity's night.
3 Delay not, delay not; the hour is at hand;
The earth shall dissolve, and the heavens shall fade,
The dead, small and great, in the judgment shall stand,
What helper, then, sinner, shall lend thee his aid? Topics: Access to God; Advent of Christ To Judgment; Christ Judge; Delay Languages: English

For Your Wise, Creating Spirit
Author: Mary Nelson Keithahn Hymnal: Faith That Lets Us Sing #30 (2017) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Tune Title: FIRST CHURCH Scripture: Genesis 6:5-7 First Line: For your wise, creating Spirit, Lyrics: 1 For your wise, creating Spirit,
blessing us in countless ways,
and your Living Word of mercy,
God, we offer you our praise.
From the waters of creation,
you brought forth a fertile land,
peopled it with men and women
meant to live by your command.
2 When in Noah’s time, we faltered,
you, with mercy and with love,
flooded us with tears of sorrow,
sent a rainbow and a dove.
And when we were slaves in Egypt,
each one longing to be free,
you led Moses on a pathway
through the waters of the sea.
3 When we wandered in the desert,
you showed us a flowing spring,
quenched our thirst and fed us manna,
though we doubted everything.
When, at last, we saw the Jordan.
and beyond, the Promised Land,
Joshua helped us cross the river,
guided by your faithful hand.
4 When our people walked in darkness,
you sent Light into our gloom:
Jesus, nurtured in the waters
of his mother Mary’s womb.
He was baptized in the Jordan,
he turned water into wine,
washed the feet of his disciples,
all his deeds a holy sign.
5 At the font now, God, we gather
as the friends of Jesus do,
to baptize your child beloved,
into life begun anew.
By your Spirit bless this water,
bless this child that we now name,
bless the people who are present.
May we all your love proclaim.
